but right now let's go ahead and take a look at where the wind is falling the hardest. it's our live hi-def doppler radar picking up heavy precipitation in the north bay. we do have a bit of a break right there because of the rain shadow effect around the santa cruz mountains where the rain is banging up against the mountain range and just doesn't make it over into the santa clara valley. but look at that heavy precipitation right now from emeryville into berkeley. piedmont light to moderate rainfall. we have heavy rain on 101 out of petaluma into novato. marinwood into san rafael. your morning commute is going to be sloppy if you are heading into san francisco. light to moderate rainfall and now heavy precipitation around the richmond district.

there's ponding on the roads. bayshore with light to moderate rainfall. in addition the other side of the story happens to be the very gusty winds. we have winds clocking up to about 20 right now throughout much of the bay area. notice the only area not under the advisory is north of the golden gate bridge. otherwise, that high wind warning and that red highlighted area, that pretty much surrounds the big sur area where wind gusts will be above 50 miles per hour. mostly cloudy skies, light to moderate around san francisco. right now temperatures in the 40s and 50s. later today our temperatures will top off in the 60s. we'll talk more about the heavy rain today and the heavier rain coming on the holiday on monday but right now, let's send it over to maria medina. what are your conditions like? >> reporter: good morning, roberta. yeah, it is pretty windy out here and raining. i want to show you right behind me anderson reservoir and just how powerful it is. now, yesterday, it was just a

few inches from spilling over. it is expected to spill over today. that means low-lying areas of coyote creek could flood. now, we want to show you where anderson reservoir exactly is. it is in morgan hill near highway 101. here is the problem. anderson lake can only take so much of this water from the reservoir so for the first time in a decade the overflow spillway will come in handy. >> we can get two, three, four thousand cubic feet per secretary of inflow into the reservoir so when that happens the inflow is greater than the outflow and that means that the water level rises. >> reporter: all right. so here is the other issue. anderson reservoir can only be at 68% capacity. and just a few seconds ago i mentioned that it is expected to spill over today and the reason why is because it is waiting to get upgraded to

survive an earthquake. a few years ago experts discovered that this dam would fail if there was a 7.25 magnitude earthquake. and it would send water rushing into morgan hill and san jose. so right now again it is raining out here, it is windy at anderson reservoir. it's expected to spill over today. low-lying areas of coyote creek could flood. maria medina, kpix 5. let's check in with sandra osborne in pacifica. >> reporter: good morning to you. we have been watching some steady rain for hours. but the big story right now along the coast would be the massive waves we're experiencing out here. we had some lights set up. i can tell you that a wave actually came over the edge here and knocked out our lights and almost knocked out my photographer eric! so we're way from the edge. as roberta gonzales taught me, never turn your back to an angry ocean which is why i'm to the side here so i can keep an

eye on what's going on. some of these waves have been tall enough to actually roll along the underbelly of the pacifica municipal pier out here so i have been watching the very edge of it kind of disappear with some of the waves in the darkness out there. so those waves have been crashing over the edge of that. now, pacifica also expecting to see that wind advisory a little later this morning from 6 a.m. until about 6 p.m. so not only are we looking at waves but some other things to be mindful of. the potential for downed power lines, the potential for downed trees and also with that wind advisory we are looking at difficulty for driving as high- profile vehicles. i can tell you that on my way here this morning, we also did see some ponding on the roads. so just be extra careful out there and again we'll be watching that high wind advisory for you. live in pacifica, sandra osborne, kpix 5. it could be a slick commute on the roads. let's send it over to roqui now for a check on traffic.

5:12. let's check traffic and weather. >> 5:12. we have dangerous road conditions out there right now that rain is coming down. we have spinouts and a rollover so speaking of rollovers here's look at the richmond/san rafael bridge toll plaza. not many cars coming on to the bridge but we see a lot of rain. heading on the span here westbound 580 at midspan it's a rollover crash involving a tanker truck carrying fuel versus a car and the car is the one that flipped over there so as you can see minor slowdowns. high winds across the span of the bay bridge. the bay bridge to the maze along the eastshore freeway 20 minutes. no delay as you head across the span. metering lights will be on in 15 minutes. to the lower deck of the bay bridge, eastbound 80 on treasure island, that off-ramp was shut down. it is now opened after they

cleared a stalled big rig. the damage is done. you're moving at just 30 miles per hour along the way so give yourself extra time. mass transit, bart is on time. that's the good news. that's something you should consider today since it is pouring rain. ace train reduced service numbers 3 and 6 are the only trains running, 3 in the morning and 6 in the afternoon, all other trains not running. i'm not supposed to be operating heavy machinery this early in the morning and i'm at the helm gearing the hi-def doppler radar all over the place from the santa cruz mountains into the north bay. let me show you what i'm talking about. this is it. it is going to be a messy morning commute due to precipitation moving into the bay area. but look at that void right there. that's the santa cruz mountains. it's a rain shadow. it's in the lee side of the santa cruz mountains. the rain shadowing refers to the effect that mountain ranges have on the santa clara valley.

not allowing the precipitation to move into that region but you will get wet. meanwhile the east bay you have some moderate to heavy rainfall concord, clayton and walnut creek into lafayette. that morning commute north and south 680 into the san ramon valley. 580/680 corridor always a nightmare! and when you toss in rain on that, it is definitely slippery when wet. then to the north bay petaluma novato highway 37 you do not need any more rain and you're seeing some moderate rain right now as is highway 121 and the connector to 116. there you have it around the city of san francisco. rain all over san francisco. moderate rain in millbrae. easing up at the san mateo bridge light rainfall there. belmont saying, what rain? we're dry right now. as is portions of the santa cruz mountains but we have a new batch of energy pushing in

from the ocean in santa cruz and aptos. hi-def doppler radar all this precipitation lifting from the south in a northerly direction complete contrast from 24 hours ago when the system was a cold front from the north slicing to the south. so here it is. hardest hit will be southern california. but we have some pretty gusty winds associated with the rainfall as well not so much right now but the winds are ramping up. 15 san francisco. also in the san jose area. 20 right now in mountain view. we do have winds at 16 in napa 11 in antioch. for the whole blue highlighted area which is every place except north bay, we do have a high wind advisory in place with winds gusting up to 15 -- 50, i should say. and that red area there, that's big sur, with wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. temperatures in the 40s and 50s. there's three things out of all this that i want you to remember. on-again, off-again rainfall today. all day long. the biggest storms still coming

sunday night into monday. which is the holiday. so fortunately a lot of people will not be on the roads unless they are coming back into town. this unsettled weather will remain intact through wednesday. our weather watchers are still getting all their data together so let's go to our satellite and radar. here's the precipitation. it's lifting up from the ocean in a northerly direction. a lot of precipitation there. six inches of rain expected in some of the urban areas of southern california. this is the second system we are talking about. we have the other one just yesterday. this area of low pressure is now on approach in advance tapping into subtropical moisture. and here's our futurecast. we still have lots of rain primarily in the east bay and north bay at lunch hour. mostly cloudy skies scattered showers for that big getaway evening forecast. saturday morning some wrap around moisture very early in the morning hours. the bulk of your afternoon will be dry. so will the evening hours. sunday morning a weak disturbance flows through then a break in the activity for the

most part a very small window sunday afternoon. then this is a bigger system with heavier rainfall and gustier winds sunday night through your monday. we're expecting 4 inches of rain on monday in the santa cruz mountains. between now and about sunday night, another couple of inches of rain in the ukiah area about an inch in santa cruz before again that monday event. we have a winter weather advisory in effect right now for the high sierra. we are expecting 16 inches of snow above 7,000 feet. lake level 4 to 8 inches of snow. you definitely need the chains. all right. here's your tahoe report: temperatures today in the 60s. extended forecast, we are on storm watch. sunny sunday afternoon, rain sunday night through wednesday. that is your friday report.

discovered that this reservoir would fail if there was a 7.25 magnitude earthquake and that could send water to morgan hill and downtown san jose. >> as soon as we get down to a restricted level we'll all breathe a sigh of relief. >> reporter: here's the other issue. anderson lake can only take so much of the water from this reservoir as well so for the first time in a decade, the overflow spillway is expected to come in handy today. again, right now, we have had a little bit of a break in the rain. it was raining just a few minutes ago during my 5 a.m. live shot but again, anderson reservoir is expected to spill over today. it is at 99% capacity right now. live in morgan hill, maria medina, kpix 5. >> that's amazing. nice job there. good morning. let's get to it. at 5:31 this morning a lot of rain is hitting the bay area. it is live. it's our hi-def doppler radar. and it is all lit up.

let's go ahead and zero in on the san jose area. dry just a couple of minutes ago. now a little batch of rain moving into the willow glen area as well as in campbell, cupertino, saratoga, cambrian park and santa clara all this lifting towards mineta international airport. otherwise, east bay you have been seeing anywhere from light to moderate rainfall. oncord, clayton and walnut creek, along that 680 stretch all the way through alamo to san ramon valley you have some light to moderate rainfall, as well. getting a little break next to the 580/680 corridor. north bay highway 37, we do not need rain there. we're seeing some pretty heavy rain on that stretch as you hook up to 121 making tracks towards 116 this morning. or if you are coming out of petaluma into novato, light to moderate rainfall. this is the scene in san francisco right now. rainfall from western addition through the richmond district. if you look at mission street some heavy rain that means a lot of ponding on the roads

there. folsom street as well, bryant you got the drill there, too. moderate rainfall through the bayview district. brisbane light rainfall. in addition to the rain the winds are picking up. at 6:00 the national weather service has issued a high wind advisory for most of the bay area wind gusts at 50 miles an hour the big sur area, gusts up to 60 miles an hour. 50 miles an hour in the santa cruz mountains. rainfall in san francisco now temperatures in the 50s across the board except for santa rosa at 49 degrees. we do have high temperatures today with a scattered shower throughout the day and the evening commute into the 60s. we'll continue to track this storm and then yet a bigger storm that will really affect your holiday. all that coming up later in this broadcast but right now, let's go ahead and see what it's like on the coast. she is bearing the brunt of the storm. sandra osborne. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you. we have had some light and some steady rain on and off throughout the past couple of hours.

but the bigger story that we have been keeping an eye on has been some of the waves. we are live right now at the pacifica municipal pier. throughout the morning we have actually seen some waves that were big enough to roll along the bottom of the bridge and come over and almost taking out my photographer. i'm trying to keep my eye on the water and give you the story at the same time. some of the storms systems that we have seen the past couple of months and years especially when it comes to erosion, i think we have some video of some of those red-tagged buildings in pacifica that were demolished just within the past couple of months because erosion had been teetering on the edge of a cliff. those are now gone. but just to give you an idea of what this area has gone through as far as erosion goes. this system and the subsequent systems to come could potentially add to some of those erosion problems so it is something we're keeping on eye on. you heard roberta mention we

are going to see high wind advisories. so what does that mean for people at the coast? it does mean we have the potential for downed power lines and trees. even some difficulty for people driving high-profile vehicles. so you want to be extra cautious out there. we did see some ponding on the roads. we actually made our way to this pier. so let's check in with roqui for something you might see impacting your traffic this morning. >> thank you. it is 5:35. dangerous road conditions out there. so let's talk about this rollover crash across the richmond/san rafael bridge. it's westbound 580 at the midspan of the bridge here. it's a rollover crash involving a fuel tanker truck and a car. the tanker truck is off the freeway but the car, the overturned car is still out there blocking the left lane and as you can see causing some slowdowns. 17 miles per hour so if you are heading to the richmond/san rafael bridge give yourself extra time. you will have a bit of a slowdown there. moving to the bay bridge toll plaza, high winds across the span of the bay bridge into

downtown san francisco. so both hands on the wheel. the maze to downtown will take about 15 to 20 minutes. and if you are heading into scotts valley, same situation here for the past few weeks highway 17 only down to one lane in each direction between vine hill road and sugarloaf road. this is all because of that massive mudslide we have been dealing without there so nine miles per hour in scotts valley. if you want to avoid this road you can take branciforte road to vine hill road to get beyond some of those red arrows. delays there all day today. thank you. this week nearly 200,000 people returned home after the threat of flooding around lake oroville and forced them to evacuate but a handful of people returned to find their homes had been burglarized. one of those was a u.s. army veteran. he had more than 2 dozen of his medals stolen. medals that were supposed to remain a secret until he died. now he is opening up about a difficult part of his life in an attempt to get those medals

back. >> trying to keep it hidden, um, but still on the other hand, you know, is something you didn't want to lose. >> pomeroy doesn't care about most of the possessions the thief stole and doesn't expect to get them back but says that the medals are irreplaceable and hopes that they will be returned. oakland police are backing away from a plan to crack down on unpermitted parties and illegal living spaces like the ghost ship warehouse. yesterday, kpix 5 on and it an email -- obtained an email from assistant police chief downing ordering officers to report anything illegal by email by the end of the shift documenting the time, address and what happened. but a few hours later the oakland city administrator said the email was distributed prematurely and is retracted. oklahoma city councilman noel gallo say it's another symptom of dysfunction among city leaders. >> for the administrator to step in and say something

that's questionable regarding his directive, clearly shows the lack of leadership and the lack of oversight and knowledge and how to do the job. >> gallo says this is yet another political fumble by the city just days after documents revealed city officials knew there was illegal housing at the ghost ship warehouse long before the fire killed 36 people there in december. president trump is scheduled to visit a boeing facility in south carolina today one day after a news conference in which he praised his administration and slammed the news media. the news conference included an exchange with a reporter april ryan. american urban radio networks. >> urban agenda you're inner city agenda as well as -- >> am i going to include it? >> are you going to include the congressional black caucus. >> i would. i tell you what, you want to set up the meeting? do you want to set up the meeting? >> no, no. >> are they friends of yours? no, set up the meeting. >> know i some of them. >> let's go, set up a meeting. i would love to meet the congressional black caucus. i think it's great. >> on capitol hill, meanwhile,
